Needle Felting
While researching what media I could work in with my chronic fatigue a key factor was it would have to be something I could pickup, put down and work on in 15 minute blocks.
​
I've been crocheting for around 5 years and so my exploration naturally tilted towards wool, which is where I happened upon needle felting.
​
I started in January 2018 with a beginners kit and was hooked. I love working with this material as it allows me to explore different natural fibres and dyes.
​
Most felt artists finish their pieces with wet felting. This is currently too labour intensive for me, but as I continue to recover the potential is there to explore this new technique.

A little word about the Ginger Stickman...
None of this would have been possible without my partner and biggest fan who created this amazing website with me.
​
You'll see him around, he's manifested in my drawings as a ginger stickman!!
